strike of lrOners.

The patrons of the Los Angeles
Steam Laundry are likely to be disap-
pointed about obtaining their linen at
the usual time this week for there has
been small strike at the works. The
ironers have quit work, having de-
manded more pay or less work.
There were three propositions sub
mitted by the ironers. The first was
to allow them to work more hours at
a larger proportionate salary or else to
work the same number OF hours with
a larger salary or to receive the same
salary for shorter hours of work.
Their demands were not acceded and
thev quit work. This leaves the
laundry short handed and some of the
wash will not be out on time.

ing been retained by Los Angeles cap
italists. The plan is to raise the
water of the Pacific ocean to an alti-
tude of $50 feet by the force of the
wave power, to be concentrated mile
from shore into huge funnel-shaped
pipes. This water is to be stored in
large elevated reservoirs, and the salt
is to be eliminated by a chemical pro-
cess, thereby leaving the water pure
as that Of the mountain streamlet, and
to be conducted to the city in pipes.
These pipes will be laid on an ele-
waited railroad, and this road will
transport all the salt obtained from
the water to the city. The same wave
power which forces the water from the
ocean surface will draw the empty
salt cars back to the Pacific.
This wonderful enterprise, evolved
from the brain of one of our Los An
geles citizens, will revolutionize the
water system of Southern California,
and if there is a man in this end OF
the State who has not already been
salted down he should avail himself OF
this splendid opportunity of buying a
few shares of this stock, now offered
at bedrock prices at No. $4,000 Hill

The Raymond Addition Improve.
ments.

The managers of the Raymond I'm
provement Company, east of the Ray
mond Hotel, are having tremendous
boom. They are preparing to lay
two and one-half miles of sidewalk, to
be made of brick, set in asphaltum.
This setting will insure level surface
and prevent the growth of weeds be-
tween the bricks, and no bugs or ants
or the whelp of ants will lodge there
in. 1t is said to cost not more than
half the price Of cement walks. A
large brick commercial building is to
be at once erected on the corner of
Glenn Arm and Broadway avenue to
cost $4,000.
An immense amount of capital in
Pasadena has been engaged recently
in improving that section OF Pasadena.
About $250,000 will be Immediately
transferred to that point and Oak
Knoll adjoining. A grand hotel will
be erected on the short line that runs
from the Raymond to Lamanda Park
through the tract. Cars will be run
ming on this line September LIST.
A movement is also being made to
have the Pasadena city hall erected
on this tract, near the boundary of the
Oak Knoll tract. The boundaries of
the city Of Pasadena are to be extend
ed 30 as to embrace all the territory
lying east OF the Arroyo Seco, south OF
the Sierra Madre, north of the Mis-
sion Hills and west of the Eaton or
Precipice cafion arroyo. That would
make territory as large as the area
Of Los Angeles city, and now con-
tains population of not less than
i0, 900 inhabitants, with a prospect OF
10000 in five years. The boundaries
are of natural formation, well defined
and will embrace most magnificent
section, taking in Altadena, Pasadena,
South Pasadena and Alhambra. The
municipality would be one of the
finest in the world, and superior tc
that of any in California at the pres
ent.
The Raymond improvement Com
pany claims to hold the central poin
Tor the proposed city limits, and il
making improvements accordingly.

WASHINGTON, July 23.-The Inter.
State Commerce Commission to-day
gave u hearing in the case of VIM. Fl.
Counsel against the western and At
lantic Railroad. COUNSEL is colored
man who, having purchased a first
class ticket, charges that he was re-
fused permission to ride in iirst-class
car and was forced to go into the
smoking car. After reading number
of depositions COUNSEL was sworn.
He is minister of the gospel, and
principal of the State Normal School
at Huntsville. In reply to inquiries
he told the story of his election from
the car in which he had taken his
seat. He entered the car and was
told by someone whom he did not rec
ognize as train man that he must go
forward, to which he paid no
attention. He was finally approached
by two men, one of whom carried a
lantern and the other had his hand
upon his hip pocket. The man with
the lantern seized witness and hit
him over the head several times with
the lantern, cutting his head badly
and breaking the glass. Witness APP
pealed to the passengers, but without
avail. His assailants then seized and
carried him into the forward car,
which was very filthy and full OF
smoke. AS he was being pushed
from one car to another the brakeman
told him that this was what he got for
not moving when requested.

pHGNiX PERTURBED
sOver Suits Instituted by Terri
torial Officials,

TccsoN, A. r., July 23.-Advices
from Phoenix say that great excite
ment prevails over the blackmailine
suits instituted in the interest of the
ring of Territorial officials by the
Attorney-General. A Commissioner
purchased questionable titles, and
then instituted suit, and the people
are so enraged that summary punish.
Went is threatened. Challenges
passed yesterday between two prom;
inent citizens. The people demand
that Governor Zulick remove three Of
his Territorial appointees. The
manager Of the Gazette was compelled
to resign because he would not de-
fend the parties bringing the suits.
The paper is owned by the Attorney
General, the Commissioner of Immi-
grafton, the Superintendent OF
the Insane Asylum, two members of
the Prison Commission, and the
Governor. Yesterday the merchants
and business men instituted boycott
against the Gazette, withdrawing their
patronage. The solution is getting in
tensely interesting and hanging is
threatened by the populace. The entire
Democratic press condemn the execu-
tive in the strongest terms on account
of the unscrupulous ring appointed to
territorial offices who have combined
to rob the citizens Of Phoenix of their
homes. The Tucson Star this morn
ing says: "If Governor Zulick does
not call for the resignation OF his gang
of territorial official scoundrels, the
Democratic party of Arizona will rise
en- masse and demand the governors
removal"

STEAM SHIPS.
Del Campo Promises a
Splendid Service
FOR THE PACIFIC COAST.
He Will Also Run Boats to the Oe-
cident Which Will Cross the
Ocean in Ten Days.

| Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald. /
SAN FRAScIsco, July 23.-Marquis
Del Campo, whose project to organize
steamship line in opposition to the
Pacific Mail, touching at San Diego.
San Francisco, and possibly at Los
Angeles, has been heretofore mention
ed, has purchased the Huller line Of
steamers, which run between San
Diego and and Mazatlan. The HulIer
line consists of three small steamers,
which are to be used by the new line
on the lower coast alone. The project
looking to the establishment of line
TO Panama is well under way, and
now it is proposed to extend the
service to considerable extent. An
other agent, direct from Spain, lis ON
the way here, and he is to be followed
by the Marquis himself just before the
first through trips are made. The
extension is OF the utmost importance
to merchants, as it will enable them
to trade direct with South America.
THE FLEET.
Three fine steamships, OF between
5000 and 1000 tons, one carrying the
Guatemalan, another the San Saliva
dor and the third the Costa Rican
flag, will run from San Francisco to
Callao, calling at Panama for through
freight. Then three fine steamers un-
der the Chilian flag are to start from
Callao and proceed to Hongkong and
Yokohama, by way of Honolulu, and
they will connect with still other
first-class steamships, which are to
run direct from this port to Hong
kong and Yokohama. The company
will despatch vessels SO that quick
will be made and will
haveSa complete circuit OF the coat
cities. The Huller line of steamers
and other small ores will serve as
feeders to the main line. The steamers,
which are to be placed on the San
Francisco and China and japan line it
is contested will be the finest and
fastest on the Pacific ocean, far excel
ling anything on either the Pacific
Mail, Canadian Pacific, and the Occi-
utIitdi anu Oiitiitdl COuipisillcS ilifcS-
The steamers will all register about
5000 tons and speed wilt be.one OF the
main considerations, as the passage to
Yokohama is to be accomplished in
ten days

There. are rumors that he-Atchison
and Topeka Company have already ar

THE CITY ASSESSMENT.
An Increase of Only About fifty
Per Cent.

City Assessor Stephenso.s concluded
his assessment rolls some time since,
and handed them over to the City
Council, which has been sitting as a
Board of Equalization alt this week.
These rolls, when examined, contrast
very favorably with these of County
Assessor Mason. They are not gotten
up in q bungling manner; and SD far
no inaccuracies or Determinations
have been discovered. II is true that
the assessment OF assessable property
has been raised in valne from SIS, 44S,-
535 in 1855 to $27 ,577 Get. but this in
crease has been made in a uniform
ratio aH over the city, and in snch u
manner THAT property owners do not
complain or find fault. Not single
complaint has been entered up to the
present time, and it is. not probable
that there will be a word said in rela-
ton to any of the valuations placed on
the properties. Mr.. Stephenson and
his devuties have labored hard and
have endeayored to perform their
duty in an unobjeetionablh' manner,
and they have succeeded. As stated
above. the assessmentsthis year is lev
| led ON S27 ,577 SOL, an increase OF
50, ,12ss066 or about 59 per cent,

THE cuNARD efmPANY
Asks for a Limitation of Hts
Liability in the Oregon Case.

New YORK, July 23.--Elsie G. Mar
tin, passenger on the steamship
Oregon, when that vessel sunk, near
Fire Island, ON the morning of March
IA, 1886, brought suit against the
Cunard Company for $1,000, for dam
ages to her person and loss of prop
erty. The Company now replies that
it has operated its line 1T pecuniary
loss for several years, and asks the
United States District Court for q linn
itation OF IL, .iability-ior all damage
resulting from casualties. The petit
TONERS claim that the occurrence was
altogether due to the 4arelessness of
an unknown vessel, (which, it is
alleged, ran into the g fgon, and de-
clares that nothing VI saved except
ten boats and a rafty W which the
Company paid $3.50. The petitioners,
desiring to claim the benefit
of the limit of ability as provided by
sections 1888 and 1886 OF the revised
statute, are willing TO pay into court
the value of their interest in the ten
boats and RATS, the remnants of the
wreck less the $3.50 paid. They then
ask that this amount when regularly
appraised be distributed among the
persons claiming injury by the acci-
dent and that all persons be restrained
from bringing other suits a.s result OF
the disaster.
The statute referred to says that the
liability of any owner of a vessel for
loss or destruction of any asst, matter
or thing lost without privity or knowl-
edge of owner shall in no case exceed
the amount or value interest of such
owner in such vessel and her freight,

FREnIONT,S FARM
Passes Into the Hands OF q
Wealthy Syndicate.

SAN Francisco, July 23.-The par
ties to whom the Las Mariposas ranch
in Mariposa county was sold are under
stood to be James G. Flood, Alvinza
Hayward, Walter S. Hobart, ex-Sena-
tor JohA p. Jones of Nevada, and his
brother and John w. Mackey. They
paid $500, 900, just one hundred times
as much as John G.. Fremont paid for
it a little over thirty-five years ago.
The banking house of Donohoe, Kelly
& Co. have had control of the property
for some time and effected the sale to
the syndicate. For many years a
cloud of litigation hung over the prop
erty, but the last of the long pending
suits was dismissed by Judge Reardon
a few days ago. The Mariposa grant,
as it was commonly known, was the
scene OF great activity from the time
Of the first gold discovery and for fif-
teen or twenty years after, and many
desperate encounters for property
rights or fancied wrongs occurred
there. Some of the participants in
those scenes became later prominent
in the history of the State and nation.

FURNITURE ON FIRE.
Heavy E4Osses Sustained by n Well
KNOWN Firm.

PoRTi SD, Or, July 23.-This
mornin fire broke out in j. A.
Strobri ge's building. The fire was in
the third story of the building, and all
three floors Of the building are occu-
pied by Haywood Bros. & Co., a
branch house of the San Francisco
firm, dealers in rattan and
reed furniture. The damage to the
building is considerable, as it will
have to be replastered throughout,
and the loss will probably reach $4,000
or $1,000, which is fully insured in
half dozen different companies.
Haywood Bros. q Co.'S loss is a SER
ious one, as they had Just received
nine carloads of new goods in addition
to their other stock. The building
was packed from basement to roof
and the total amount of stock ON hand
was from $2S, 900 to $50, 900. The loss
is estimated at fully 70 per cent, as
damage to this class of goods is nearly
as great by water as by fire.
